Most horrendously overcrowded performance predictions.

[FloorFiller]

If the Bastille doing Williams Green rumours are true that will be up there as well

 

depends if word gets out, although the secret sets at William's Green are generally overcrowded regardless. some people will watch any old shite. aren't the William's Green sets usually bands already playing over the weekend though?

Word is definitely getting out. I think it'll be crowded. Bastille may be a bit shit, but they're a Pyramid/Other sized act for that time of the day.

[The Placid Casual]

Gawd sake, I want to see Wolf Alice in William's Green but I don't wanna be in there with people who like Bastille.

 

If they think I'll be happy in a crowd full of people with Nick Grimshaw haircuts they're so wrong.

[The Placid Casual]

Wilko Johnson in Acoustic. Crazy.

I honestly think The Proclaimers will get a bigger crowd in there.

The horrendous overcrowding is what makes me kinda doubt it. I thought they wanted to nix that and Bastille right now are bigger than any band they've previously put in there.

Different day but Wolf Alice will be full of those sorts anyway.

Ah, I hadn't read and assumed Bastille were one of the Thursday acts. That's good at least then.

 

You're probably right. Guess I'll have to grin and bear it for Ellie and co.

[The Placid Casual]

Didn't they stick The Vaccines in there in 2013 when they were also 3rd up on the Pyramid? How bad was that in the tent for those who went?

[dentalplan]

Oh you're right. I don't believe that was a secret though.

[jackarmy]

Both Slaves sets will be rammed.

 

Can see Hot Chip drawing a Chic-sized crowd on West Holts also.

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

They didn't draw a particularly big crowd at Hyde Park yesterday, despite there being nothing on to clash with. Was good though.

EDIT: Hude Park?

 

this, but then the break between Future Islands/Beck was used by many for drinks and food (because all the drinks and food stalls got INSANE busy) and to get a good spot for Beck/Strokes. I think there were plenty of people who were just there for the 'big 3' on the main stage.

Baggy Mondays on Thursday afternoon in Stonebridge.

[The Placid Casual]

Oh you're right. I don't believe that was a secret though.

Yeah, it was in the programme and I remember being a bit shocked when I saw it. Genuinely interested in what it was like, I can't imagine it was very pleasant.

 

Being squeezed like that and listening to The Vaccines... sounds like medieval torture.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Mardy beside you, squealing with delight and peeling off his clothes in joy.

[Ellisdt82]

Vaccines was a nightmare if I remember rightly because they were delayed and no one would move so they closed off Williams Green for like an hour

[st dan]

Vaccines was a nightmare ...

This is all that was required.

[eFestivals]

I honestly think The Proclaimers will get a bigger crowd in there.

 

they got a humungus crowd a few years ago - I was going in as the crowd was coming out.

My brother asked me to come and see them and to meet him there near the front even though I'd be arriving late if I chose to go. I laughed until he cried.

[marcwilson87]

The 3hr 45min gap, because a vicious rumour gets spread that it may be Blur...

[Bisque]

Jesus at wow and enter shikari at leftfield

Agree

My head's saying Caribou, but after a day on the rangdang my heart might well be singing Sunshine On Leith.

I'll decide my fate on the day. We still have this sub to be announced.

 

They did only book Burt a couple of weeks before the announcement, so who knows?

[roughbloke]

Wolf Alice - William's Green...but I think that's agiven for any of the secret bands. 

[WayneJr10]

Slaves on hell stage.

Definitely

Would need to be T-Swizz, I think. Maybe Beck at a push. Almost every other name getting kicked around is giving me the heebie jeebies.

Would take those two and The Strokes any day.

 

Anyone else? Not on your nelly.
